DJ Jace, aka Jace Byers, has been filling dance floors from coast to coast for over three decades. Known for his bass-heavy tech house sets, Jace has a natural instinct for blending hip hop, house, and breaks into unforgettable live experiences. Utilizing a mix of old-school vinyl and cutting-edge technology—layering drum machines, samplers, and 303s — his performances are far from pressing play. Every set is an invitation to experience something unique.
If seeing his first set of turntables and mixer in 1988 was the spark, it was a Cincinnati rave in 1993 — thrown by Thome Tomato in an old church—that truly ignited Jace’s passion for the electronic music scene. He was hooked. Throughout the ’90s and early 2000s, he DJed hundreds of raves across more than 30 venues from LA to Pittsburgh, held down residencies in 10+ Lexington nightclubs, and played iconic spots like Virtual Gallery, Dreadlocks, and The @ttic in Lexington, as well as the Music City Mix Factory in Nashville.
Over the years, Jace has shared the stage with legendary acts like DJ Icey, Dynamix, Terry Mullan, Dieselboy, Dimitri from Deee-lite, Richie Hawtin, Roxiller, Rabbit In The Moon, Moby, Richard “Humpty” Vission, Bad Boy Bill, . His style has been continually shaped by influences such as Stanton Warriors, Plump DJs, and Richie Hawtin, while his hunger for fresh sounds keeps his sets evolving with bass-heavy energy from artists like Walker & Royce and Max Styler. Whether he’s spinning a remix or debuting an original track, Jace has three goals: make sure everyone has a good time, inspire people to dance like no one’s watching, and rattle a few windows.
